Umeå IK FF dominated IFK Norrköping FK at Platinumcars Arena in a straightforward and tough match that ended 1 - 7. Just six minutes into the game, Monica Jusu Bah scored the first goal for the away team, and only two minutes later, Henna-Riikka Honkanen followed up with a second goal. IFK struggled to control the ball, and Umeå's players were driven and determined.
Honkanen continued to slice through IFK's defense, scoring yet another goal in the match, as did Lisa Björk. By halftime, Umeå had taken a commanding lead of 5 - 0 after Honkanen completed her hat trick.
The second half began just as the first one ended, with a goal from Umeå. Honkanen scored her fourth goal of the match, kicking off a challenging second half for Norrköping. Irma Cajlakovic then scored a consolation goal for the home team, but it was far too late. Umeå won the match with seven goals to one, taking home three important points from Norrköping.
Despite Norrköping making several substitutions, it made no difference. Umeå's defense and midfield were too strong. IFK's Emelie Johansson received a yellow card in the 84th minute after being late in a collision with an opponent. The total attendance was only 85 people, a disappointing figure for both teams. Referee Maral Mirzai, along with assistants Patricia Yacoub and Linda Eriksson Kartal, kept their composure and did a good job ensuring the match flowed smoothly without incidents.
